health of the enterprise.”
CRISC is one of the most current and
rigorous assessments available to
evaluate and recognize the technology
risk and control abilities of IT business
and risk professionals.
Becoming CRISC-certified has given me
a common language to communicate
within IT and the rest of the enterprise
about risk. My enterprise is therefore
empowered to make effective risk-based
decisions and prioritize resources for
areas that are most at risk.
